Gene expression regulation by well-known non-coding RNAs by Tan, Jiazi

“…In this thesis, I studied the functions of two well-known non-coding ribonucleic acids (ncRNAs), namely U1 small nuclear ribonucleic acid (snRNA) and Xist, which exert their influence over gene expression via different pathways. 5’ splice site (5’ss) recognition by U1 snRNA binding is one of the first steps in pre-mRNA splicing, which is critical for gene expression in eukaryotes. …”

Improving rice nitrogen-use efficiency by modulating a novel monouniquitination machinery for optimal root plasticity response to nitrogen by Huang, Y, Ji, Z, Tao, Y, Wei, S, Jiao, W, Fang, Y, Jian, P, Shen, C, Qin, Y, Zhang, S, Li, S, Liu, X, Kang, S, Tian, Y, Song, Q, Harberd, NP, Wang, S, Li, S

“…In this study, we identified RNR10 (REGULATOR OF N-RESPONSIVE RSA ON CHROMOSOME 10) as the causal gene that underlies the significantly different root developmental plasticity in response to changes in N level exhibited by the indica (Xian) and japonica (Geng) subspecies of rice. …”
